P F Stracke

When Officer Stracke arrested you, your case entered a system with unusual outcomes. About half of his cases get dismissed—49.3 percent—which is significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. This puts him in the 72nd percentile among officers statewide, meaning dismissals happen more often with him than with most other officers. This higher dismissal rate could reflect how charges are initially classified, the strength of evidence he gathers, or how cases develop once they reach court.

Your charge matters enormously for what comes next. If you were arrested for public intoxication, dismissals are rare with Officer Stracke—only 11.8 percent get dismissed. But if your charge fell under "Other" offenses or trespassing, dismissal rates jump to 62.5 percent, roughly matching his overall pattern. The variation across charge types suggests some arrests are more defensible in court than others, regardless of the arresting officer.
